Excerpt from Fly-Fishing and Worm-Fishing for Salmon, Trout and Grayling It will be seen from the following pages, that in regard to the theory and practice of Artificial fly-making and fishing the Author has arrived at conclusions very different to those usually accepted by anglers and angling writers, but fishermen who, in spite of preconceived views and the venerable sanction of the fathers of the gentle craft, have the courage and patience to test for themselves the results of these conclusions fairly and thoroughly, and to adopt them if they are satisfied of their soundness, will find their reward in the increased weight of their baskets, and the diminution of trouble and expense. On this point a reviewer in "Baily's Monthly Magazine" observes: - "The result of Mr. Pennell's teaching is 'the substitution of six typical flies-three for salmon and grilse, and three for trout, grayling, &c., - for the whole of the artificial flies now used.'
